This is a rare 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible with bucket seats.  The car runs and drives.  I just spent 2500 dollars on carb rebuild and new brakes and a couple of other items.  Please view all pictures and ask questions on anything and everything.  The cars needs much work but for a few grand more you could have a decent very cool driver.  The pictures make the car look better than it is to be honest.  The panels are pretty darn straight but it will need a full paint job if you wish to have a shiny vehicle.  There is a rust bubble on the right rear fender well.  The rest of the body is fairly clean minus a ding or two.  The bumpers have some rust as shown.  The convertible top does not work.  The motor turns and spins but does not engage the clamps above the windshield.  The top is in very nice shape minus the rear window trim area which is coming apart but should not leak.  The front power windows work including the quarter windows, the other windows do not. There are missing parts on the interior as shown in photos.  Windows don't line up exact just based on the rear windows not working.  The tail lights are not working or brake lights.  I am sure this is an easy fix but cannot access since the trunk will not go up based on previous top comment.  As mentioned it is a rare set up but this would be a better weekend cruiser than a full restoration vehicle as the cost would be astronomical.  Items to address would be top, windows, lights then you could tinker and adjust thereafter.  I have a box of little items such as the ashtray etc...There are alot of things that need tightening etc...so I hopefully think you get the picture.

As mentioned it runs and drives straight down the road and will make a cool driving, eye catching convertible with a little work but I am trying to give an accurate description so I won't get a "hey, I anticipated a really nice car and it is not".

Lots of questions. When I say full restoration I am speaking in terms of any classic. I have a beautiful 58 356a but to put to museum is astronomical. This car with paint, top etc would look fantastic as panels etc are very nice but  just want to inform. It is not the condition that some of these 20k convertibles are but with about 5-7 it would be. My reserve is much lower than that as to afford the new owner opportunity for growth. 


I am taking a bath on this as the individual I bought it off of told me all worked. I would rather not invest any more money in it  My reserve is half of what I paid and is worth it.

Lincoln Continental with suicide doors sold out, but Lincoln will make more

Mon, Jan 21 2019

The Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition was announced just late last year, but now we have news that it's coming back for a second run of cars. All 80 initially planned have been allocated at this point. Lincoln wouldn't give an exact final price, but says it's somewhere north of $110,000. A fully-loaded Black Label car goes for a bit over $70,000, so it appears to be about a $40,000 premium for the Coach Door Edition. We're told that customers will be notified about their success at grabbing one in February, with shipments commencing over summer. Lincoln originally decided to build 80 of these because it's officially called the "80th Anniversary" car. Now that there will be a second year of production, we reached out to see if Lincoln will continue to produce the same number, or switch it up. Judging by the internet's excitement about this expensive sedan, there's a lot of interest in it. If you missed the reveal the first time around, you can read our full breakdown. To be succinct, it's a normal Black Label Continental that's been stretched by six inches and had suicide doors fitted to it. Sweet. There's also a full flow-through center console for the two rear passengers. Lincoln contracted Cabot Coach Builders to manufacture it; the two have worked together in the past. It's great to see Lincoln will be building more of these flagship-type sedans for the world. One could even make the argument that every new Continental screwed together should look like this, for history's sake. Related video:

Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
